Could be my brain but it stumbles over Old English and I find it helps if I translate—which is funny since this is English. All but the “like a beautiful smile” verse is from a sonnet by Shakespeare. Sting wrote the smile verse.
I compare you to a summer’s day.
You are more lovely, more fair
Rough winds shake May’s buds
Sometimes it’s too hot
And every now and then it’s not sunny
Weather can be changeable
Due to random chance or changing weather.
Like a beautiful smile
That fills I know why—because of happiness?
The beauty of a smile won’t die
It will last forever.
Your eternal summer won’t fade
And it won’t lose it’s beauty in you
I’m laughing. I got stuck—so I got bored with translating it. I’ve never had much luck understanding Billy-boy ….
